Why do I like to read? Wow... that's actually a really interesting question. I honestly have never given any thought to "why" I enjoy reading, because it has always been such a fundamental part of my existence. I can't not read. To me, it's nearly as necessary as breathing. When I'm away from written material for more than a few hours straight, I get really impatient to get back to it. I absorb words like a sponge absorbs water. I can't imagine not having another book available when I'm nearing the end of what I'm currently reading. I spend almost an hour a day looking for what my next read will be and adding material to my "next read" list. If I'm not reading, I'm writing. I've been known to wake up in the middle of the night with an irresistible urge to read or write. Drives my husband nuts when I do that, but I've always been like this and probably always will.
I guess I still haven't answered "why" and I don't know that I can. I just... must.
